IMMERSIVE ART MUSEUM
YOKAI Immersive Experience Exhibition KAGOSHIMA - Imagination of Japan
HITOHATA, INC. produced “YOKAI Immersive Experience Exhibition KAGOSHIMA – Imagination of Japan –,” which was held from Friday, July 3 to Monday, August 31, 2026 at Reimeikan, Kagoshima Prefectural Center for Historical Material, Special Exhibition Room 1 (7-2 Shiroyama-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima). The event was organized by MBC Minami-Nippon Broadcasting.
This event was an immersive digital art museum, allowing visitors to experience Japan’s proud tradition of yokai (supernatural creatures) through Edo and Meiji period artworks, including Hyakki Yagō Emaki (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), Hyaku Monogatari (One Hundred Ghost Stories), oni (demons), tengu (goblin-like beings), kappa (water spirits), and tsukumogami (animated household objects). These legendary creatures were brought to life through cutting-edge visual technology and immersive three-dimensional installations.
Born from the rich imagination of ancient Japanese myths and folklore, yokai have transcended time to captivate audiences worldwide. Their humorous and mysterious depictions in traditional paintings and caricatures were dynamically animated using 3DCG, projection mapping, and holographic screens, while three-dimensional sculptures recreated a realistic yokai world, making the experience even more immersive.
Additionally, with the cooperation of the Yokai Art Museum in Shodoshima and Japan’s first antiquarian book museum, Nishio City Iwase Bunko, the exhibition featured precious yokai paintings, caricatures, and art. Through detailed exhibits and explanations, visitors could uncover the cultural and historical roots of yokai and their influence on modern pop culture.
As a new form of art entertainment where visitors of all ages could enjoy, learn, and experience Japan’s renowned yokai culture, the exhibition welcomed more than 80,000 visitors during its run.
